If you have been injured while performing your job, you are entitled to receive workers compensation benefits. Employers pay for workers compensation insurance to compensate injured employees for medical expenses, lost wages, and temporary or permanent disabilities, as well as to compensate the heirs of workers who suffer a fatal workplace accident.

Coverage for Injuries and Occupational Illnesses
Workers compensation provides benefits for work-related injuries and occupational illnesses. Your work does not have to be the sole cause of your condition. You are entitled to receive benefits if your work contributed to a new injury or illness, or aggravated or accelerated an existing condition.
You can receive workers compensation benefits for injuries and illnesses that cannot be attributed to a specific event, but rather developed gradually over time. An airline baggage handler with a bad back from years of heavy lifting, a foundry worker with hearing problems from working in a noisy workplace, and a grocery store checkout clerk with carpal tunnel syndrome from the repetitive stress of the job may all have valid workers compensation claims. Back, neck, and head injuries are often the subject of disputed claims because the symptoms may develop gradually.
We are often called upon to resolve cases in which an employee was initially paid workers compensation benefits, but benefits were discontinued before the worker’s physician released him or her from treatment. When this happens, workers are left without income at a time when they are too ill or injured to return to work safely.
In addition to representing injured workers, our workers compensation attorneys represent businesses and insurance companies in workers compensation claim disputes.
